The detail

In the beautiful commune of Villedaigne in "le Pays Cathare" (Cathar Country) of Southern France, sits The Loft – Powered by Lieu. This former wine cellar not only boasts of a stellar location in one of the country's most beautiful regions, but its amenities are second-to-none, too. The Loft sleeps 12 guests across six bedrooms and has a massive open-planned living space with a beautiful kitchen, and even its own pool table. Step outside and you'll be greeted by a huge garden, complete with private swimming pool and sunbeds. And did we mention the sauna? All of this combines to create the perfect getaway for large families, groups of friends, or even company retreats.

The interior is of an eclectic design, with a mix of contemporary and traditional features, including modern and vintage furniture, vaulted ceilings, and exposed timber framing. A single-story home, the loft has a big open-planned living area. This houses a fully equipped kitchen (with breakfast bar), a dining area with a large table with seating for up to 12, a sitting area with four two-seater couches, and a pool table. Separately there is a cosy TV lounge with a small library. There are six bedrooms in total, each with their own double-bed, sink, and SMART TV. There are three bathrooms: two with spacious walk-in showers and one with a shower and bath, and there are three further WC's and even an infrared sauna.

Step through the patio doors and into the beautiful garden, featuring a heated swimming pool, sunbeds, and an outdoor lounge. To the front of the property is a large terrace complete with a BBQ and outdoor seating, perfect for al fresco dining. To the side of the loft is another terrace, offering gorgeous views over the rooftops of Villedaigne.

The Loft provides a fantastic Mediterranean location from which to explore the beautiful countryside of "le Pays Cathare" (Cathar Country). Nearby, there are several cosy villages, all perfect for lazy days sampling produce at a market or enjoying a relaxing glass of wine. Less than an hour's drive away are the picture-perfect communes of Minerve and Lagrasse, both considered to be among France's most beautiful.
